Feature Request - Highlight content of text input when tabbing

by RollerJesus · in Torque Game Builder · 05/12/2010 (8:04 pm) · 2 replies

Just thought I'd put it out there... I'd love it if, in the editor, the content of a text area was selected when you tab to it.

You know you want it too!

Not my favorite hack, but a hack none the less!

guiCanvas.cc
// Includes
#include "gui/controls/guiTextEditCtrl.h"

bool GuiCanvas::tabNext(void)
{
   ...
   if ( newResponder && newResponder != oldResponder )
   {
      newResponder->setFirstResponder();

      GuiTextEditCtrl *textCtrl = dynamic_cast<GuiTextEditCtrl*>( newResponder );
      if ( textCtrl )
      {
         textCtrl->selectAllText();
      }
      
      ...
   }
   ...
}

bool GuiCanvas::tabPrev(void)
{
   ...
   if ( newResponder && newResponder != oldResponder )
   {
      newResponder->setFirstResponder();

      GuiTextEditCtrl *textCtrl = dynamic_cast<GuiTextEditCtrl*>( newResponder );
      if ( textCtrl )
      {
         textCtrl->selectAllText();
      }
      
      ...
   }
   ...
}

Chalk up another reason to have source. :)

Thanks Phil!

EDIT: btw, this works perfectly!
